State of 3G/4G fallback on MikroTik?
by Karl Auer 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

We need to quote to a client for two routers capable of running a VPN between two sites - easy, that's a MikroTik. But they want a fallback to 3G/4G so that the site that falls back keeps Internet access AND so that the VPN keeps running. What's the state of MikroTik 3G/4G fallback? Last I looked it seemed very roll-your-own, and supported only a few very specific dongles... Ideally it would work like the (vastly more expensive) Merakis and just fail everything over to the secondary link if the primary fails, where "fail" would be either a ping test or interface down. That said, I'm OK with a solution that needs more work, as long as once done it is set-and-forget. Any pointers?

Axiom Cyber Shield
by Philip Loenneker 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi all, After seeing their presentation at the Melbourne MUM, we've been having a look at Axiom Cyber Shield. Is anyone on here using it and happy to provide some feedback, on-list or off-list? It certainly sounds like a good product, but I only seem to be able to find sales pitch information, not unbiased reviews.

Re: [MT-AU Public] upgrade from RB2011UiAS to something faster - RB450Gx4 ?
by Chris Herrmann 23 Feb '20

23 Feb '20

Sounds like the RB3011 will fit the bill... I don't quite need to push 1.8Gbps per stream :) The RB3011/4011 are both more $$ than the RB450Gx4 or 750Gr3. If the extra $ are necessary to meet what i want then that's fine, but if the smaller unit will do it - then that would be better as it's smaller... presumably lower power and cheaper. @Russell I think the VLAN on switch chip might be the thing that tripped me up with one of the other units I played with, in which case the 3011 would be a better option? Cheers, Chris

Anyone have a favourite VPS provider for CHR with Megaport connectivity? We currently use Zettagrid for various systems and services, but looking for alternatives to add/expand/enhance existing solutions :) All comments and suggestions are welcome! Cheers, Mike.

I have predominantly been installing the Netgear DM200 -100AUS modems, updating the firmware and placing them in Bridge mode so that a Mikrotik device can do the Authentication / ip addressing. https://www.netgear.com.au/home/products/networking/modem-routers/DM200.aspx It works well, just make sure that you set the modem to "other" as the provider and let it synchronise correctly. That means pull the configuration of the connection down to the modem or you will have issues. V 1.0.0.61 is the firmware that I have been using with TPG/iiNet/AAPT NBN installations <-- needs to be this firmware or higher else you will have internet connection issues. FTTC / FTTB (close to the node connections) Bandwidth synchronises at the modem around 107 Mb for 100 Mb NBN connections - close to 97 Mb using speedtest.net / google speed test.

RB760iGS with PS180-T VDSL SFP
by Darryl Ross 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

Hey All, I have a client that has 8 sites, all of them are going to be ethernet handoff (FTTC or HFC) except for one site that is going to be FTTB (VDSL). I'm planning on dropping RB760iGS into each store. I see on the duxtel site that the VSDL SFP module has passed compliance testing in September, does that mean it's now been approved for use on the NBN or just that its compliant with the specs? Anyone had issues running one in the desktop MTs? -Darryl
